It basically has a few answers that I know of. One has to do with sports. It's when a team beats another team by a large margin. For instance, there's a game between Answers.com and Cars & Vehicles.com. Answers' score is 78 and Cars' is 0. You would say that Cars "got skunked."
The other answer can be when someone is more than likely to be misunderstood or disapproved of. It's used especially of words. In slang it can mean someone is most likely to be misunderstood or disapproved of, used especially in words.
It is also slang for being intoxicated.
Also, I've heard it used when a dog got sprayed by a skunk as in, my dog just got skunked!
